One of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings and make recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final decisions on these matters. Lake Elmo Ordinances require that certain documents and information be included in applications. The Planning Commission may postpone consideration of an application that is incomplete and may for other reasons postpone final action on an application. For each item, the Commission will receive reports prepared by the City Staff, open the hearing to the public, and discuss and act on the application.

Request from Planning Commission for direction on R1 land use discrepancy in Future Land Use Map Mr. Cliff Adkins, 2227 Lake Elmo Avenue North, has expressed an interest in subdividing and developing his property and has asked the City for clarification of the land use controls on his land. This matter was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their meeting on November 25, 1990. The Commission was unable to pass a motion recommending certain action to the Council because of an apparent conflict between the published Future Land Use Map and text of the Comp Plan, and a resolution passed by the City Council that there shall be no more rezoning to Rl. M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to direct the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing for the purpose of amending the Future Land Use Map to reflect the 12 acres owned by Cliff Adkins as .RED Zoning instead of SRO Zoning. (Motion carried 5-0). C. Resolution No. 91-1, Shoreland Grant Application The City received a letter from Ron Nargang, Director, Division of Waters, notifying the City must upgrade its land use controls or shoreland ordinance by January 4, 1993 to comply with the new rules. The Legislature has provided grant monies to assist local units of government in adopting the new shoreland rules.

M/S/P Williams/Dave Johnson - to authorize the City Staff and Planner, Mike Black, to attend the Shoreland Workshop and request the Administrator ask the City Planner if he was planning on attending this seminar anyway, the city is willing to split the costs with other client cities.

(Motion carried 5-0). LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 24, 1990 page 5 Keith Raleigh asked the Commission if the developer will be required to plant mature trees in front of his house as a screen from the develpment. The Commission replied no. M/S/P Bucheck/Johnston - to extend the Public Hearing to 10:00 p.m. (Motion carried 9-0.) Pete Eggen expressed the development will look too out of place since it's located in the middle of a field. Steve Korhel presented a petition signed by every property owner on Keats Avenue. Mary Cane stated that she is against the re -zoning of this property. Bill Michel of No.St.Paul stated that he is directly affected by this development in that he is a potential buyer and has gone so far as to sell his house and enroll his children in Lake Elmo schools and asked the Planning Commission to take into consideration his position. Steve Korhel asked if the Met Council has not approved the Comp Plan yet, can this development go in? The Commission responded that the Met Council does not approve the Comp Plan it only makes comments. Commissioner Wilfong stated there is overlap between the two public hearings for RE Zone District and preliminary plat of "Arabian Hills". Commissioner Bucheck asked that the Administrator have recommendations on drainage from the City Engineer and City Planner at the next meeting. M/S/P Johnson/Johnston - to table this public hearing until the October 8, 1990 Planning Commission meeting. (Motion carried 9-0.) 5. Cliff Adkins: Request to Rezone to Residential Estates Cliff and Marian Adkins, 2227 Lake Elmo Avenue, requested that the City consider allowing them to plat their approximate 16+ acres into an RE subdivision. The Adkins explained that they bought this land 35 years ago with the plan that some day they could subdivide for their children and also for investment purposes. Commissioner Thomas noted that there may be a zoning error in the Future Land Use Map for this property. This property is shown on the Future Land Use Map as Suburban Residential, but this has to be verified as correct (there is confusion on this). The Commission made these suggestions to the Adkins' (1) If there is an error in the Future Land Use Map, they should have the map ammended to make it correct; this would put them in a better position to enhance their probability of showing a hardship, (2) make an attempt to combine their proposal with Durands' (in order to keep some continuity in the road system); (3) bring their proposal to the City Council and request a variance from the RE Ordinance. LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 24, 1990 page 6 6. Repeal R-1 Zoning District M/S/P Johnson/Thomas - to recommend that the City Council adopt the resolution, and direct the Planning Commission to prepare an ordinance prohibiting any further RI zoning. (Motion carried 8-0, 1-against: John, the motion is premature since we haven't established and finalized the RE district Ordinance yet. M/S/P Johnson/John - to table the balance of the agenda until the October 8, 1990 Planning Commission meeting and adjourn the meeting at 11:05 p.m. (Motion carried 9-0.) Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes November 26, 1990 Page2 3B. Arabian Hills: Continuation of Public Hearing Vice Chairman John called the public hearing to order at 8:45 p.m. This is a continuation of the public hearing opened on October 8, 1990, for re -zoning and preliminary plat approval of "Arabian Hills". All property owners within 350 feet were re -notified. Due to the petition to amend the Comprehensive Plan and also due to the fact that the preliminary plat does not meet all the minimum requirements of the RE Ordinance the Applicant, Roger Kolstad, requested that his application be tabled until the meeting on December 17th. Chairman John closed the Public Hearing. M/S/P Conlin/Enes - to grant the applicant's request to table the application for re -zoning and preliminary plat approval until the December 17, 1990 Planning Commission meeting. (Motion carried 9-0.) 4. Concept: R1 Preliminary Plat - Clifford Atkins Mr. Atkins is looking for direction from the Planning Commission to proceed with rezoning and preliminary plat (Mr. Atkins was not present). The Future Land Use Map shows this property to be SRD which is RI. The Planning Commission stated that they have adopted a resolution prohibiting any further rezoning to R1 within the City. The Commission suggested Mr. Atkins rezone to RE and request a variance for his 16+ acres, or ask for an amendment to the Comp. Plan, or ask for the R1 zoning based on the Future Land Use Map, or ask the Planning Commisson to request an amendment to the Comp. Plan. M/S/F Stevens/Enes - to deny rezoning to R1 and suggest to Mr. Atkins to persue the possibility of a variance to develop as RED. (Motion failed 4-5.) M/S/F John/Johnston - to recommend to the City Council this property be deemed part of the existing RI, and to give Mr. Atkins direction to proceed under the R1 zoning. (Motion failed 3-6.) M/S/F Johnston/Enes - to recommend the City Council grant a limited exception to implement the R1 zoning of this specific property to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. (Motion failed 4-4, abstain: Johnson.) M/S/P Thomas/Stevens - to make no recommendation. Mr. Atkins is advised that the Planning Commission does not propose to give him any direction on this subject and that he should approach the Planning Commission with a specific proposal. (Motion carried 9-0.) Councilman Williams suggested the Planning Commission make an official action asking for the City Council to give them direction on what to do for this particular problem. JAMES R. HILL, INC. PLANNERS ENGINEERS SURVEYORS 9401 JAMES AVE. SO., SUITE 140, BLOOMINGTON, MN 55431 612/884-3029 Fax 884-9518 MEMORANDUM TO: Lake Elmo Mayor, City Council and City Administrator FROM: Mike Black DATE: December 4, 1990 RE: Atkins Property Mr. Cliff Atkins, 2227 Lake Elmo Avenue North, has expressed an interest in subdividing and developing his property and hence he has asked the City for a clarification of the land use controls on his land. Mr. Atkins owns three separate but adjacent parcels along Lake Elmo Avenue on the east side of the Lake. Please refer to the attached Exhibit A. Parcel A has an existing home on it and consists of approximately 1.3± acres. Parcel B consists of approximately 2.5± acres and Parcel C consists of 12± acres. The existing zoning of the property is shown on Exhibit B. Parcels A and B are zoned R-1, One Family Residential. Parcel C is currently zoned R-R Rural Residential. Exhibit C attached is a partial copy of the City's Future Land Use Map. The properties owned by Mr. Atkins (Parcels A, B, and C) are now designated SRD Suburban Residential Density on the City's Future Land Use Map. The implementation tool for development or properties which have the SRD land use designation is the R-1 zoning district standards. However, at the April 3, 1990 City Council meeting, a Resolution was adopted stating that there will be no more R-1 rezonings in Lake Elmo. The clarification that the City may make to the property owner is: ONE: Will the City allow the rezoning of Parcel C to R-1 and development in compliance with the R-1 standards?; or, TWO: Will the City require an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map changing the land use designation for Parcel C from SRD to RED? Any development on Parcel C would then be required to be rezoned to RE - Residential Estates District. (It should be noted that Parcel C is approximately 12± acres and in itself is not large enough to meet the required minimum 20 acre planned area.) City of Lake Elmo December 4, 1990 Page 2 PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION This matter was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their meeting on November 26, 1990. The Commission was unable to pass a motion recommending certain action to the City Council. In fact, a number of various motions were made recommending certain action; however, all failed due to a lack of affirmative majority votes. Some of the views expressed by the Planning Commission were: Reasons to sirnnort the R-1 zonina: * The SRD land use designation is carried out through the R-1 development standards. This is vacant land in the SRD land use area and should be allowed to be developed as R-1. The new R-1 zone would be adjacent to existing R-1 zoning. The owner will be required to meet all minimum zoning and subdivision standards before a plat is approved. * The owner does not have the necessary 20 acres for RE zoning and development. Hence, the owner would have to acquire adjacent vacant property or at a later date join in with the subdivision and development of the adjacent land. Reasons to sunnort the RE zoning: * The City Council has made it clear that no additional R-1 zoning will be approved. * The land use map should be amended changing the designation to RED which would conform to adjacent vacant properties also in the RED category. The 12± acres could be developed to the RE zoning standards at such time when other properties develop or the owner has the option to acquire additional properties in order to submit a minimum 20 acre subdivision. Single family rural development without central sanitary sewer is expected to meet the minimum standards of the new RE zone.

This written report is based upon the following exhibits submitted by the applicant: 1. Soils Overlay Map 2. Preliminary Plat (revision date February 19, 1991) 3. Drainage Plan 4. Grading Plan (revision date March 4, 1991) 5. Street Grades and Profiles (dated March 4, 1991) 6. Stormwater Report / Calculations 7, soil Borings and Percolation Tests As discussed at previous meetings, this proposed subdivision does conform to the RED Land Use designation in the Comprehensive Plan and does meet the subdivision density standard of the Residential Estate zoning district. I recommend that the Planning Commission pass a motion recommending to the City Council approval of the rezoning of the Arabian Hills property from R-R Rural Residential to Residential Estates. pRELIMTNARY PLAT REVIEW This plat has been revised to address previous issues raised by the staff and Planning Commission. The subdivision contains 19 single family lots, one outlot which will be deeded to an adjacent property owner, and no parkland. All lots meet the minimum lot area requirement of 2.5 acres and all other minimum standards of the RE zone. In addition to the revised preliminary, the applicant has provided updated grading and drainage plans and view street profile plans. All final plans must be approved by the City Engineer and a permit from the valley Branch Watershed District will be required prior to any site grading or construction.

At an estimated land value of $4,600.00 per acre, the required cash dedication would be $13,200 or $700.00 per lot. The applicant and the City can agree upon a fair market value of the land or an appraisal of the property can be ordered.
